Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price the job by the number of stories, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Idaho, our crews have worked through spring and fall for years, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
Priced by stories, not by a visit. The bundle costs less than two trips, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. For a window and gutter job we take the stories, the window count and whether the gutters have been opened in years, then give you one figure before the crew is scheduled. The same method covers residential and commercial buildings, and our washing services are quoted by stories and window count either way. This quote is for exterior work only, so interior and exterior glass are never folded into one number on this visit. On the glass we use purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so there is no residue left to streak.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large number of oversized picture windows, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Water damage at a sill adds time too, and the crew notes it before the work starts. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs the fastest way to get an exact number is to send a text with the stories and a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328. We have quoted a lot of runs off that one photo, and the crew shows up knowing what it is walking into. Because we are the crew that does the work, we can tell you on the call which parts will take the longest, and that is usually the back run where the ladder has to reach. Regular cleanings are quoted the same way, and the number is confirmed before each date.

For context, nationally. Angi puts the average US gutter cleaning at $168, most homeowners paying $119 to $234 (Angi, 2026). Exterior-only window cleaning runs roughly $4 to $10 per window, or $100 to $250 for a typical home, with $3 to $5 per window more on upper stories (Angi, HomeGuide, via Google AI Overview, Oct 2026). Priced by stories, the most common model, a two-story gutter cleaning sits around $150 to $300 nationally. If a quote you are holding sits far outside these, ask what is driving it.
On every house we work, the first scoop out of a gutter ends up on the wall below it. We put the glass last so it ends up there once.
Gutters first, glass last. That is the order on every job our crew does, and it is the reason we book both with one crew instead of sending two.
What we see from the ladder. When we clear a run, the leaves, the grit and the black water that sits under them come down the wall and across any window below it. Flushing a downspout throws more of it, in a stream, onto the panes beside the outlet. If the glass was washed first, someone has to wash them again before we are off the ladder. So we do the roof blow-off, clear the gutters, flush every downspout, give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. The panes under the downspout outlets are the last ones we touch on the house.
Two things we do differently from a window-only crew. We rinse the siding under each run before we move to the glass, so nothing left on the wall washes down onto it in the first rain. And we do the top-floor glass from the same ladder position as the gutter run, one setup per side of the house, which is where the bundle saving comes from: no second trip, no second setup.
Downspouts flushed, screens rinsed, sills wiped, bags hauled. None of it shows up as a line item.
Gutters. Roof blow-off where debris sits above the gutter line. Every run hand-cleared, not just the visible stretch from the ground. Every downspout flushed with water until it runs clear, and a blocked one cleared on the spot where it can be reached from above. A downspout that feeds a buried drain line is checked at the outlet; clearing the buried line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it. Debris bagged and taken away. Before-and-after photos of each run, sent to you before the crew leaves.
Windows, exterior only. Every reachable pane on the outside of the house, cleaned with a water-fed pole and purified water so the glass dries without streaks or towel lint. Frames wiped. Screens taken down, hand-rinsed and put back on request. Sills wiped. Upper-story windows done from the pole, not from a ladder leaned on the siding.
Not included, and we say so up front. Interior glass. Hard-water or sprinkler staining etched into the glass, which needs a separate mineral treatment and is quoted after the crew sees it. Post-construction paint, stickers or stucco. Skylights and solar panels. Pressure washing of siding, decks or driveways. Gutter guards: if a run is covered, lifting and reseating the guard adds time and is quoted by the foot before the visit, never on the day.
Twice a year for both, and the same two months, which is why one visit covers it.
Across Idaho, most of our customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Idaho the spring visit lands in late May to June, and in Blackfoot the fall visit comes in October to early November. Pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters show up in the spring visit, and the leaf load shows up in the fall. In Blackfoot the wettest months are April, May and October, when runoff from the roof tests the gutters hardest. Freezing is a real risk here, so water left sitting in clogged gutters through autumn turns into a problem by winter. Customers who want professional window cleaning and gutter work done together also tend to care about curb appeal, since clean glass and clear gutters are what the street sees first.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that most with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and with a sprinkler line that hits the glass, which leaves the spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site also tends to need more frequent cleanings. Most multi-story buildings with several levels of glass take longer on the ladder work, so they are the ones that usually need a visit in between.
For a single-story house with no trees, a fall visit alone is often enough. For a multi-story house with a sprinkler line on the glass, we would plan the spring and fall visits plus one in between. Our cleaning services follow the same logic for every house, and windows inside are not part of this schedule since the visits cover the outside. Grime and haze on the outside glass that show up when the sun is low are the sign the windows need a visit, and water sheeting over the gutter edge in rain is the sign the gutters and downspouts need one.
Most two-story homes are done in a morning. You do not need to be there, and you get the photos either way.
The crew calls the day before with a two-hour arrival window, and again when they are on the way.
How long. This Old House puts a professional gutter cleaning at 30 minutes to an hour on a typical house. Exterior windows on the same house run about the same again or a little more, so plan on a morning for a two-story home and most of a day for three stories or a house with a lot of glass. Gutters that have not been touched in years, steep roofs and wraparound porches run longer.
Before the crew arrives. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, so the glass is dry and the ground is not mud. Move cars off the driveway if windows face it. Keep pets inside while ladders are up. Unlock side gates. Nothing else; the crew brings its own water and power.
While they work. Gutters first, glass last, as described above. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. If something cannot be reached safely (a pane over a sunroom roof, a gutter run behind a tree limb) the crew photographs it and tells you rather than guessing.
After. Photos of every gutter run and the finished glass, sent by text or email before the crew leaves. The invoice matches the number quoted on the phone.
Send a photo and we tell you what it is. No argument about whether it rained.
Streaks. Purified water dries clean; a streak means something was missed, and that is on us. Send us a photo of it and we tell you what it is.
Spots that come back. Round white spots that return a day after cleaning are mineral deposits from sprinklers or hard water etched into the glass, not dirt. Cleaning cannot remove them; a mineral treatment can. The crew flags it on the visit so you are not surprised.
Rain the next day. Rain is distilled water and does not dirty clean glass by itself; what spots glass after rain is dust already on the frame or screen washing down. That is why frames and screens are done, not just the pane. If it looks worse after a storm, send the photo and we look at it.
Overflow after a cleaning. If a gutter runs clean and still sheets water over the edge in the next rain, the cause is slope, a sagging hanger or an undersized downspout, not debris. The crew notes what it saw and tells you; cleaning it again will not fix it, and we will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Your house. Ladder stand-offs on every ladder so nothing rests on the gutter lip or dents the siding. Screens go back in the window they came out of.
Neighborhood by neighborhood, with a lead time we say out loud, and a call before the truck turns in.
Our window cleaners work across Blackfoot and book window and gutter cleaning the same way everywhere: a call or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm a date from there. A residential window job and a residential gutter run go on the same route, so one booking covers every window and every run. Each sill gets wiped as part of the visit, and the frames are rinsed to remove dirt before the glass is touched. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows, the spring pollen and the fall leaf drop, so if you want to schedule service in those months it is worth asking early. We will tell you on the call how far out the next opening is. We aim to keep residential properties, condos and commercial sites on separate routes so each gets the attention it needs.
When you book, ask for a written estimate and a date. We will confirm the time window the day before, and we will send photos of the clean windows and the cleared gutters before the crew leaves. If something cannot be reached safely, we say so before the truck pulls away. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text the stories and a photo, and we will set the date on that contact.
Yes. Our window cleaners are the same two people who clean the gutters and downspouts, and they do both in one visit, gutters first, glass last. Doing both on one day means one set-up and one trip.
There is no figure I will put in writing here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and you get it by phone or text.
On our jobs most of what you see through the glass is grime from rain, pollen and sprinkler spots, and all of that sits on the outside. The windows inside can stay as they are.
Most of our customers book the spring visit in late May to June across Idaho, and the fall visit in October to early November in Blackfoot.
No, that is the reason we work gutters first and glass last. If the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters runs across it and someone has to wash it again.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. The crew uses the rinse to remove dirt from the screen frames, so they go back on clean. None of it is billed separately.
On this visit we clean the exterior only, so windows inside are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing here.
Yes. Our washing services can be booked for one or the other, but the bundle saves a second trip when both are done in one visit.
Yes. Individual condos are quoted the same way as a house, by stories, window count and gutter condition. If a building has shared gutters or a managed roof, tell us on the call so the crew knows who to reach before the visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
